Rocky Patel Fusion Blue Label Toro

I just got this in yesterday and let it rest for awhile (very short while) couldn't resist. Since I had the day off I fired it up while having my coffee. Coffee with a little french vanilla...that and the creamy taste of the stick was pretty nice. One thing about the other review was kinda right and wrong. That member said a little over an hour smoking time...this stick took 1 hr. 40mins....I shit you not. That was the longest damn smoke I had so far.

Pre-Light

Light was easy, very nice draw with lots of smoke and already with creamy taste.

Ash started off grey with few blotches of black, appeared tight at first but fell off at 1", tasting some nuttiness along with the cream.

Ash stayed on for 1 1/2" this time but became more flaky streaked with black. Still creamy with the nutty coming and going.

Next ash also managed 1 1/2, going in the the last 1/3 of it, I got a bit of pepper. From there on I swear I had a piece of buttered toast in my mouth. This was a very good smoke and enjoyed every minute of it.

Looks like a damn good smoke! Gotta love RP. Can't wait to try this one. Nice review! Is that a mini torch lighter you got back there? I think my uncle has one and it works great if I recall correctly.

Great review! I like the 1990 and 1992, so when I read this review, I had to grab one up. I thought it would be a little more spicy or peppery then it turned out to be. I tried this in the torpedo and lancero, with the torpedo being the better of the 2. I really enjoyed it and I have a couple left. Rocky Patel has not let me down yet!

I definately agree with your review Fred. I had this one today. Big thanks to you brother! I really enjoyed it. Let me know if you ever want to do some kind of box split on this and I am in.

Please note the picture below. The ash held on really well. If you look closely, you can see the ash has a yellow greenish color to it which is the first time I have ever seen that happened. This cigar is the bomb. A must try for everyone IMHO.

Great review Fred. I have to admit I am partial to RP although I have never trie this particular stick. I will definitely grab one sometime thanks to this review. Creaminess and nuttiness is always good. Thanks.

EDIT: Fukin' keboard with a sticky "y"
